(Refer to "Material" )
Refer to Usage of Table Tool to enter or modify the following data.
ID
Material number
Name
Material name
Type
Material type
Code
Standard material specifications
Code Name
Specific material specifications
Elasticity(Force/Area)
Modulus of Elasticity
Poisson
Poisson's ratio
Thermal(1/[T])
Thermal expansion coefficient
Density(Force/Volume)
Weight per unit volume
Sp. Heat
The ratio of thermal energy required to raise the temperature of a body 1° to the thermal energy required to raise an equal mass of water 1°
Heat Conduction (BTU/Length•Time•[T] : Conduction Coefficient
The property of a material to conduct heat in the form of thermal energy.
Conduction is the process by which heat flows within a medium or between different mediums in direct contact. The energy is transmitted by molecular communication.
Material Type
Select Isotropic or Orthotropic material type
If SRC materials are entered, RC data are saved in the Code2 and Code Name 2 fields.
When Orthotropic is selected as User Defined material type, (Elastic_y, Elastic_z), (Poission_y, Poassion_z) and (Thermal_y, Thermal_z) can be separately defined in y & z direction of Element Coordinate System.
